After a few hours of messing around, I finally got EcuFlash and RomRaider working with my Windows 7 64 bit laptop. It was kind of a pain, but thanks to the info here and on the RomRaider site I was able to get everything going.
- I'm using the cable with the blue connector and silver wire. Purchased from seller gameadvance. Item description: "VAG-COM USB KKL 409.1 cable for AUDI VW OBD2 OBD 2".
- Used EcuFlash 1.42.2595. Used the drivers packaged with the installation \program files (x86)\OpenECU\EcuFlash\drivers\x86\openport2.inf. Didn't try the Windows 7 drivers.
- probably known by everyone (except me), but if you have a recent Cobb AP (mine is a V2), you will not be able to read the ROM using EcuFlash with the AP still married. I had to uninstall the AP before I could even read the ROM.
- Learning View works no problem out of the box
- RomRaider is kind of a pain. I had to use 0.5.3BetaRC6 and the 32-bit java JRE. The windows installer would not work. After you choose the options to install, it just freezes. I downloaded the windows .zip instead. Unzip that baby in the x86 program files directory and edit the run.bat file in the install directory. Change the java.exe path to c:\"program files (x86)"\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe. If you try and run it using the default 64-bit java, it starts up, but you can't select COM ports nor can you connect to the ECU.
All the above information is around on various forums, FAQs and whatnot, but I thought I'd summarize it here.
